Feature: Tickles SM North Edsa

If you're looking for giftable items and fun stuff, the only place to visit is Tickles. I've been to Tickles SM Megamall last year and went home with stuff that's not only perfect as a gift but also functional for home, education, and personal use.

I presume that you've seen fellow bloggers sharing with their hauls after visiting the new flagship store in the north at SM North Edsa! This iconic homegrown novelty shop is now giving happiness to shoppers who love quirky gifts and fun knickknacks. Sharing a quick look at Tickles SM North and my picks after the jump :)

Tickles was established in 1979 and almost three generations have passed but they are still here with their mission of giving happiness to everyone. Their stores are bigger and better with a retro European circus theme while the rest of the stores will be updated soon.

Inside the stores, the merchandise is more focused and curated, and every corner of the store is highly-detailed and “Instagrammable.” they add, “There are some things the kids won’t get, there are some things the moms or dads won’t get. But some things are universal: laughter, happiness, things that make you smile.”

Why we love Tickles? (yes, it's a 'we' because I have a kid in tow during my visit and he's no other than my son, Kenzo :)

1. There are picture frames, vintage clocks, and home decorations that are perfect for collectors and those who have specific themes and inspirations at home.

2. Storage boxes and tin cans. For artsy individuals, I recommend these storage boxes. I thought these are for display purpose only but I've found out that it's an actual box where you can place small stuff at home. The tin cans have quirky messages and great if you want to remind yourself to save money for something.

4. Stuff toys and other toys for girls and boys. Even kids-at-heart will get excited to have one of these. Our faves- the panda and the monkey stuff toys that are available in small, medium, and large sizes. Kenzo also like the vehicle displays like the old school bus and the motorcycles.

5. If you're into jokes and pranks, Tickles carry a wide array of that stuff that I'm sure will help you in your comedy stint. Kenzo's eyes were glued in this section. He can't decide which prank item/s he will bring home.

For a shop that’s been around for generations, you’ll be surprised how current and on-trend their novelty items are. In an effort to offer more exciting, unique, and homegrown merchandise, Tickles now designs and manufactures many of their gift items. Now let me share with our haul below:

1. Travel Essentials- I noticed that in our past travels, I don't have a decent shirt case, bra organizer, and a toiletry kit. Good thing that Tickles have these essentials in store for a very affordable price.

At the heart of everything they source or create for Tickles is the mission to bring “Happiness All Year Round.” In a market where nothing stays original for long, the team’s challenge is to come up with items that will tickle the fancy of their customers before anyone else.
